Extra challenge

August 3, 2017

Zeke and Nay.

Anniversary was yesterday.

Three years married.

They worked up an old van with solar on top and are traveling around the country for a year.

Maybe more?

They were both very open and genuine.

I pulled off the highway to use the public facilities.

Came out and a local motorcycle club were pulling in.

A group that like to travel around together.

They were saying what a cool set up on the bike.

Which led to talking, discussing.

Wish I would have gotten a picture of them all.

Seem like a lot of fun to be with.

And while we were talking...

Tom joins in.

An avid recumbent rider.

His is two wheel.

Says he'll go to three when he reaches eighty.

He has a ways to go since he os pnly one year older than me!

And he is a pastor.

Tom, his son, and a friend had just arrived back from a three day kayak

excursion.

Tom was in a recumbent kayak.

All done with pedalling as if on a bike.

He is going to send me some info on the kayaks.

Maybe the next adventure?

Saw lots of bikers heading south.

I forgot to mention my extra challenge this morning.

That is what I am going to call it anyway.

An extra 3.4 miles because I took the wrong road.

Up and over a hill.

Then turned around and did the same back to the correct road.

For completing said challenge I treated myself to a chai latte and a blueberry muffin.

Stopped in Bodega Bay for some fuel for the body.

Fish and chips.

The fish was caught this morning!

And a turkey sandwich to go which I will have tomorrow.

Need to figure the distance from

Olema to Jenner.

Forty-five maybe.

If you add the challenge into the equation.

So as I am coming into Jenner I see what I think is a campground.

It is really like a mobile home park.

An older one.

I ask a couple as I am shouting from

across the road if there are any tent sites available.

The man walks me down, introduces me to the husband/wife team who own the place.

Tell them what I am doing, the whys, wheres and hows and then just like that she walks me down to a tent site.

No charge!

And it is beautiful.

Like I am in the midst of a flower garden.

The showers were hot.

And it is what I needed after four days of none.

Yeah, I think I smelt a bit bad.

Shaved.

Ate a few chips and now snug in the tent.

So much to be thankful for.

Tomorrow I keep heading north.

One day, one revolution of the crank, and all to help others be free physically, mentally and spiritually.
